LEGEND OF THE GOLDEN TIGRESS

She brought back Ming Shuang, Haru"s daughter back with her, since Shurei insisted that it would be better for her if she is raised with Xing. Xing had left Shuang with her parents a couple years back since Haru nagged her to leave his daughter in his home.

Xing worried about Shurei and to leave her but she seemed to have composed herself after her husbands death. Baobei now taking on the business, travelled a lot and their second son mostly stayed in the sea with the Ouyang Navy and trained.

Xing only left after making sure Shurei was taken care of and hired some maids to look after her. It seemed like she sank into her own world of embroidery after Haru left and she found solace in doing the thing she loved the most next to her husband and so Xing let her. It would clearly take a long time for her to get over her husband"s death and for now she accepted her husband"s death which was the first step in the right direction.

As Xing entered their Manor, there were a bunch of kids welcoming her making Xing grin.

" That silver haired one is not ours, is he?", Xing joked as she saw little Zai there along with his sister. Apart from them, Seiren"s daughter was there too with her training sword.

"Aunty Xing, teach me more", she was enthusiastic.

For Xing, holding a sword was a great pa.s.sion. She taught her kids everything she knew along with Chenglei and Seiren"s daughter joined her training. Little Zai preferred Chenglei and dopged his sword style.

Lianlian adopted her technique the most and was pretty good at his age. Xing knew the day her son would be able to beat her won"t be far and she was rather proud of it. Lianlian also had a lot of interest in books and read as much as he could. Xing could see Chenglei in him as he was a genius and strong in all ways.

Feifei rarely visited them and stayed with his Grand father. As Chenglei predicted, he was a Huang in character and had no interest in martial arts and liked the writing brush more. He reminded her of Rijun.

Her daughters were the eyes of the family pampered by their parents and also their brothers.

The elder one Little Zhu likes to stay in and was interested in indoor activities, just like her second brother and had an extreme interest in embroidery. She reminded Xing of her mother. Xing arranged for a tutor to specially teach her.

The younger one on the other hand, was everything her mother was. She liked to wander around, didn"t like to stay inside and liked swords and she"d pick fight with anyone and everyone. There will be constant complaints about her reaching their ears and Xing would feel her head split. She was a wild child who knew no fear and cared about no rules.

"Oh, mother! I can now understand why you lectured me that much! ", Xing was grateful for her mother"s patience.

Since she was too wild, and the capital city is not generally safe for her to wander around,Xing asked her first uncle to take care of her for sometime. She almost got kidnapped once. The capital city was filled with their enemies and Xing had to make this decision for her daughter"s safety. She didn"t want to confine her inside just because the outside is dangerous and so she decided to send her to a safe place where she"d be safe.

Lord Huang gladly agreed and Little Yu was the most happy about that arrangement. She always liked the calm and serene nature in the southern province than the buzzing city. Plus she could wander around anywhere she likes there.

Xing was surprised all her kids were there to receive her. The moment she stepped in, her four kids came running and hugged her, even Feifei and little Zhu were teary.

Hugging them back, Xing felt her eyes clouded too. Her kids are all different and most of the time doesn"t express their love towards her but they all missed her nonetheless.

Only Xinxin is missing!

As they had lunch together with the bunch of kids, Xing felt her heart filled with joy. The ruckus of the children, was like a sweet melody for her. Seeing her peaceful expression, Chenglei was happy and he held her hand.

He always looked at her and her Happiness was his happiness. He only has to take care of her and the rest of their family and friends, his wife will protect them. She is a treasure and he was glad she found him and stayed with him after everything.

Years pa.s.sed and the kids grew up in front of them. It became a tradition for the Li family to go to their Manor in the West. It was the time Xinxin visits them. Each year he would be bigger and unrecognisable, making Xing sad that he is not with them all the time. But he would always hug and won"t leave Xing"s side, the three days they stay together. He loved both his sisters more than his brothers and those girls loved their eldest brother too.

As her sons grew up, they were one of the most sought out bachelors in the city. Their status was higher to everyone else except the Crown Prince and the second Prince and their wealth was immeasurable.

And their parent"s marriage was envied by every woman in the kingdom and some girls just wanted such life for them. They thought by marrying their son, they would have the same happiness as the Prince and Princess Consort Jin.

Xing expected Li Shusai, the boy who kissed and made a girl cry, to be at least flirty with the girls who practically threw themselves at him, if not taking advantage of them. But he was always polite and handled everything with a smile. Lianlian would reject every advances with a smile in his eyes and never let any woman even touch even the helm of his robes or get close to his shadow even. Xing was greatly relieved by his behaviour. She wouldn"t want her son to go around breaking girls" hearts.

Li Weiyan, a.k.a Feifei on the other hand would always sport a cold appearance scaring off anyone who try and speak with him. He didn"t have much friends and would attend every banquet with AoTian and no one would bother him. He preferred it that way. Xing had never seen him even spare a glance at a woman and she slightly worried for him but her father a.s.sured that he will be fine.

Lianlian, after he turned fifteen, would disappear for days and Xing knew where he went. He"d go to the Water Kingdom and in the guise of visiting his brother would visit Ying Mizuki, Ryuga"s daughter. And most times without getting Ryuga"s permission.

"I"m confirming her feelings towards me and developing it", he told Xing, fearlessly when she confronted him about it.

"If I hear you got her pregnant before wedding, I swear that would be the last child you will have. No! If I even hear that you entered her bedchamber before wedding, I will make you infertile" Xing sternly warned him.

"But mother, even when we are in bed, we only talk and never..."

"Doesn"t matter! I will not trust a couple of youth on bed! You are just fifteen! Don"t make me do something you regret! ", Xing gritted her teeth and Lianlian left rather disappointed. He didn"t like the restrictions his mother put but he have to obey his mother. She gets scary at times.

Xing sat there rubbing her forehead. Both of them didn"t give up on their feelings and in fact it is getting stronger as they grow up and she wouldn"t separate them for any reason. But there are always a lot of complications in marrying a girl from another Kingdom. Especially with Water Kingdom, since they are too involved with the Water Kingdom making the officials in the Wind Kingdom grumble.

"I can see traces of your father in you. You really know how to scowl like him," Chenglei couldn"t stop his laughter seeing the way she talked with Lianlian.

AoTian used to scowl at him not to meet his daughter when she lived there and he"d do anything and everything to meet her anyhow.

" Don"t laugh Chenglei! This is not a laughing matter. This involves a girl"s reputation. And...", her eyes softened reminiscing, "You are right," she hooked her arm around his arm and leaned on him, "In the past, a long time ago, my father used to lecture me about letting you inside my room too.... I never listened though!" She sighed. "Lianlian will listen, right?"

"Oh", Chenglei looked at her seductively, "You didn"t listen to your father and let me in your bed and... After that... what did we do?", he wriggled his eyebrows and smirked.

Xing realised that this wolf got to the mood and tried to escape.

"Come on Chenglei... It is bright outside, " she tried to pry her hands away from his grip.

"Who"d dare to disturb us?" he pulled her close and she ended up sitting in his lap.

"We are not young anymore. We can"t be doing... "

"Wifey!", he undid her waist band and the tone fell of her slender shoulder revealing her upper body and his hands immediately fondled her chest. "We are husband and wife and we can do it till we are old"

"You nasty old man!" she grumbled swallowing a moan, "You are already fifty. Can you even get it up?"

"Fifty?" he bit her collarbone, "I"m only forty seven and can"t you feel my member already waiting for your...."

"You rascal Prince! " Xing bit his lips and kissed him deeply. This guy always wins!

---

A year pa.s.sed and Xinxin got married to a daughter of Water Kingdom"s n.o.bility and Xing and Chenglei attended the wedding. She seemed like a good girl and Xing felt relieved. And as the crown Prince, he was given a bunch of concubines too. W

Months after they returned to their kingdom, Xing received a letter from Ryuga.

"I caught your son on my daughter" s bed. Don"t make me beg"

That"s all there was and it was Lianlian who delivered the sealed letter.

Upon confronting, Lianlian was casual.

"We are both sixteen and we want to get married. What"s wrong with that?", he asked with his chin up.

"Don"t talk to your mother like that" Chenglei said immediately. Even he doesn"t use that tone with his wife.

Chenglei calmed Xing down and yet she screamed.

"I will disown you! Make something for yourself before talking to me with that att.i.tude!"

Their kids had everything and none of those was earned by the kids. It was all earned by their parents. And so it is mandatory they listen to their parents.

"I"m sorry, mother" Lianlian immediately knelt, "It"s that there are great opposition to our wedding in the Water Kingdom and I wanted to let everyone know she is mine and so...", he paused seeing his mother fuming.

"But we didn"t really do anything. We were just kissing. We even..."

"I really don"t want to know the details!" Xing interjected him.

"I"ll arrange your wedding, " Xing said and saw her son"s eyes widening with joy.

"On one condition"

Xing saw Lianlian"s eyes flickering but he nodded accepting her condition.

"You two will not share a bed until she is at least eighteen", Xing added and even Chenglei looked at her with surprise.

"Even after wedding?", Lianlian wanted to clarify.

"Yes" Xing nodded and her eyes were serious since she really meant it.

The mortality rate of women during childbirth is higher when they are giving birth young. The chance of survival gets higher once they become twenty.

"Okay" he said after thinking for a while and Xing asked him to wait until marriage to meet her again. Lianlian had to agree reluctantly.

"He loves her dearly, " Chenglei said holding her hand.

"He is just h.o.r.n.y, " Xing dismissed.

"You don"t understand, Xing. Men would express their love for their women by making love, rather than words," he explained, "Of course they get more h.o.r.n.y the more they love their woman and I love you the most", he kissed her cheek.

"You can say it", she looked at him and she could see the l.u.s.t in his eyes.

"You liar! You just find any reason to...", her words were swallowed by his kiss and he showed her how much he loved her in bed.

In that week itself, Xing prepared Betrothal gifts and sent messengers along with those gifts to ask for the hand in marriage for Ying Mizuki.

The entire Water Kingdom was stunned by the three s.h.i.+ps filled with exquisite items sent as Betrothal gifts. And everyone"s jaw dropped on the floor knowing the s.h.i.+ps and the items in the shops are the Betrothal gifts.

Prince Jin is that rich to send three s.h.i.+ps and those s.h.i.+ps filled with treasures as Betrothal gifts?

No one could fathom it.

Ryuga was happy by the plans of those couple and sent an announcement that he will give his daughter to anyone who can top that Betrothal gift sent from Prince Jin"s family for his daughter.

Of course no one could and the engagement was announced between Li Shusai and Ying Mizuki.

The wedding was grander and had more gifts making that wedding the biggest wedding in the history of Water Kingdom.

But for the Wind Kingdom, that wedding wasn"t great since they had seen the wedding of Prince Jin and his every gift to her is ten times better than the gifts sent for his daughter-in-law. Chenglei didn"t let his son"s wedding get bigger than his wedding. He always will treat his wife the best.

After the promise made by Lianlian that day, Xing never repeated it to him and yet Lianlian and his wife kept the promise.

Ying Mizuki was not only beautiful like the moon but also she had a heart, pure as snow. She always addressed Xing as "mother" from her heart and she was smart and capable.

She already knew accounting and would help xing with the household affairs along with Ming Shuang who grew up there.

After a couple years pa.s.sed, Xing was surprised to see her youngest son kneeling in front of her asking for his marriage with Shuang.

"That came out of nowhere!" Xing commented to Chenglei and he patted her head.

"For you", he smiled and Xing"s eyes widened.

He knew? Who knew I could still be surprised by my husband?

"She grew up here. She is like your sister" she told Feifei and he shook his head firmly.

"Never once have I thought of her as my sister. Never"

" Teaching her the workings of our Manor, telling her your preferences, making her learn everything you taught to Sister-in-law.... I thought you were raising her as my bride all this time, mother. So you are saying, you were not?", Feifei asked back and Xing wanted to bang her head. He looked genuinely confused and surprised.

"Little Zhu learned all those too", Xing sighed.

"Oh?" Feifei thought for a while, "No, I have different feelings towards Ang"er than I have for Little Zhu. I want to peel open Ang"er"s....."

"Wait!", Xing closed her ears. "I really don"t want to know your thoughts, trust me", she rubbed her forehead.

What"s with my sons? Why are they all perverts?

"Shut up!" Xing hit Chenglei who was holding back his laughter and he ended up laughing out loud seeing his son.

"Is it wrong?" Feifei asked, "For me to have such thoughts? But that"s what I feel though, " he said innocence dripping from his handsome face.

"You deal with it, " Xing glared at Chenglei who was still laughing and left the room. She used to openly talk about these before but she really couldn"t do it with her son.

" He was so little sometime before and now, he is a....man!

And how did he fell for Shuang? He even gave her a nickname Ang"er. Even if she went after him, he would always turn and leave her alone. What is he blabbering now, suddenly? As if he was in love with her for years?" Xing contemplated.

"Why did mother leave? Isn"t that normal human behaviour to reproduce...? Isn"t that how you two made us?", Feifei questioned Chenglei and even though he was perplexed by his questioning, Chenglei answered him calmly and explained everything he needed to know.

And so Xing asked for Shuang"s hand in marriage to Baobei and Shurei and both agreed. In fact Shurei cried in happiness that she need not worry about her daughter anymore.

And so, Ming Shuang was brought as the daughter-in-law of the Lu Family in a grand wedding ceremony. They give everything similar to Mizuki so that no one would feel discriminated.

Xing noticed Mizuki slightly feeling threatened by Shuang since Shuang knew of the habits of thekr family better than her since she grew up here.

But Xing treated them with care and soon the both of them became the best of friends. They really loved each other and their husbands more and respected Xing more than their own mothers.

Xing really was blissful with the new daughters she attained.
